We got to the gates at nine and surprisingly Kakashi was actually there.
"So what's our mission going to be?"
"Something very simple, we are just going to have you deliver this top priority message to the Sand village and also make sure not one person reads it except for who it's going to. You'll probably have some bandits or hired ninja on your tail, so watch your step. We want this done by tomorrow at 2:30"
"But it's a three day trip to the sand, you want us there and back in one day?"
"Not both of you, just you Mariah"
"What…why just me, what if something happens?"
"I thought you said you could handle anything"
"I can, this won't stop me at all"
"Just remember, nobody can see the contents except for the Kazekage"
"I'll see you both by two thirty tomorrow then"
I grabbed the package and ran out the gate as fast as I could. I was going to have to use all of my speed to get there fast enough. I would have to get to the village by nightfall, then I could sleep for a few hours before heading back. The package wasn't that big, just a small letter, probably a few pages thick. I was going fine for a couple of hours, until up on the horizon a few ninjas that looked like they wanted to get their hands on whatever the heck I was carrying. I was contemplating just running straight by them, and that would have worked if they hadn't followed me. I jogged leisurely for a few miles, dodging this and that. A kunai came flying past my hair, making it blow into my face. I guess I had to actually deal with these guys. I jumped straight towards them, a rasengan in each hand, nailing them right in the gut. I didn't have much time to fool around here. After another few minutes, more of them came, probably backup for the others. I pulled on the string I set up just a minute ago, releasing all sorts of kunai and shuriken from the trees. There were a few other trip-wires, so I should be fine in getting to the Sand village. When I did finally make it to the village, Temari was standing at the gate waiting there for me.
"Hey, sorry it took me a while to get here"
"Oh don't worry about it, I've actually not been waiting that long. Did you run into any trouble on the way?"
"Nothing I couldn't handle"
"Well let's get to the Kazekage and we'll put you up for the night"
"I'll have to leave sometime in the early morning"
"Suit yourself, c'mon"
We got down the street and up to the Kazekage's office.
"Alright Gaara, here, not opened since I got it"
"I wonder what it is"
He opened it and had his version of a smile on his face, not smiling, but you knew he thought it was somewhat humorous.
"If you don't mind, can I ask what it says?"
"You'll find out soon"
I got up early the next morning and headed out. I decided to heck with this and just shimmered over there, show how well I could do my missions. I walked back to Tsunade's office to tell her how well my mission went.
"Alright there Tsunade", I pushed open the door and walked in. Itachi was there, along with Tsunade and Kakashi. "I finished your mission with 5 hours to spare"
"Good job, that's exactly what I expected from you. Congratulations"
"Congratulations on what? It was just a mission"
"A mission to confirm my feelings to everyone else"
"Oh no"
"Oh yes, I've chosen you to be Hokage with me"
"But…and…did all of you know about this!?"
"Actually they knew a while ago, you were my number one choice"
"But I can't handle that, I'm basically still just a kid"
"I think you're perfect for the job, so do you accept?"
"Well I…of course I accept"
"Alright then, we'll start the plans right now"
"Don't worry, I think you can handle this", Itachi said walking over to me like he knew the whole week.
"I'm glad someone believes in me"
This is another somewhat short one...I don't know what's wrong with me. I'll try to update tomorrow or tuesday. Thanks for the support ^-^
